It looks like a slew of new content is on the way to Pokemon GO, including appearances of additional Pokemon. Following the most recent update for the game, Ditto and references to generation 2 Pokemon – such as Chikorita and Celebi – have been uncovered in the updated code. Read on below for a list of upcoming new features:
1. ONE NEW MOVE HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE GAME: TRANSFORM
- It is a quick move (as opposed to a charge/special move).
- TRANSFORM now appears both in the GAME_MASTER file with its own animation sequence (as all moves have) and the APK code itself, as the only new move addition yet since the game launched.
2. 100 NEW POKEMON ARE NOW REFERENCED IN THE GAME’S CODE
- Pokedex #152 (Chikorita) to #251 (Celebi)
- Moveset data has not appeared for the 100 new species, and a client-side update (e.g. v0.45.1) will be required for them to begin appearing in-game
3. 52 NEW POKEMON FAMILIES NOW APPEAR
- Again from Chikorita to Celebi
- Includes Ho-Oh and Lugia, etc.
4. NEW SPONSOR: GLOBE NOW APPEARS
- (This may have been added in v0.43.4, but either way was previously announced and discussed on the Road)
5. THE LOCKOUT SYSTEM
- A bunch of new code for the anti-gym-sniping (lockout) system has appeared.
- It appears to function just as described, with a new error message if you are locked out, an ‘ending millisecond’ timer for deploy lockouts, etc.
6. THE QUEST SYSTEM
- Daily quest code, including daily bonuses and a weekly bonus according to a multiplier have now appeared
7. THE ‘CONDOLENCE’ RIBBON
- (This also went live in the previous version, but we wanted to catalog it here for historical reasons.)
- Used when Niantic placed a black condolence ribbon on Thai players at the passing of the King.
